Bragging Rights

Boy, have I got them. I had my second quantitative chemistry exam on Tuesday. I went to class today and my professor told us that the average was terrible (I forget exactly...somewhere in the low sixties), and that nearly everybody scored lower on this second exam than on the first. And when he said lower, he meant lower, forty points out of a hundred in some cases. So, when I went to pick up my exam, I was pretty dang apprehensive. I don't know why I bothered - I scored a 107 out of 100. That's a load off. And then I got my genetics test back today. Again, my class was told that a lot of people scored significantly lower on this second test than on the first test. Well, I didn't score higher. I didn't score lower either. I made a 100/100, just like on the first test. Not only that, one of my tutees (person I tutor) who is also in that class told me that her TA told her class that the average was a 72, and that only one person in the entire class scored a 100. My tutee then narrowed her eyes at me and said, "It was you, wasn't it?!" Yep. That makes me feel really good. My professor says that he rarely gives out A+'s, and then only to exceptional students - maybe one or two a semester, if any at all. Well, we shall see, shan't we?
